Saturday 31st March

A cold, breezy and occasional wet day but with a hint more Spring when the sun did come out. The highlights came from the direction of the northerly wind with a new first winter Glaucous Gull on Finger Point and a new immature Iceland Gull in the estuary. Also from the hide 24 Sanderling, 21 Ringed Plover, 14 Brent Geese, three Dunlin and two Grey Plover.

 Iceland Gull - Lee Collins

Elsewhere the Slavonian Grebe was off Cockwood; now in full summer plumage, 21 Sandwich Tern and single Eider, Great Northern and Red-throated Diver were offshore and three Wheatear were new arrivals on site.
